On the other hand, since the game’s world consists of the entire Pacific Ocean, you may freely sail out to open waters and see no sign of human activity for hours. Sea traffic is greater, including not only Japanese and American vessels fighting one another, but also convoys and other ships of Allied or neutral countries following objectives of their own. Some of the solutions implemented in the game allow for even greater immersion into a grand-scale conflict. The two most crucial ones are: increasing the dynamics of the campaign and changing the way you interact with the crew.
The fourth installment in the series reiterates the advantages of the previous games, at the same time introducing a couple of novelties. You go through a series of missions given by the HQ, fighting battles against the Japanese fleet in the Pacific Ocean. You play as a US Navy officer who, as a submarine captain, tries to turn the tide of war on his country’s favor.
